Post Video: Old Top Gear 924S and RX-7

I found an old top gear (british tv magazine) video comparing the 924S to the RX-7 of the same vintage. Here is the link:
<a href="http://www.mymazdarotary.com/mazda_rotary_general/bbc_videos/rx-7-roadtest_1985.avi" target="_blank">top gear 924s vs. rx-7</a>

you need divx to watch it, you can download the divx codec at:

Score! Anyone got any "official" videos like this on the 944? I imagine that if top gear covered the 924 they had to have looked into the 944, or even better yet, the 968?

the funniest video that tiff did by far is the "97 car of year" the ford puma.

the best driving video that tiff made was either the zonda vs. lamborghini murcielago or 911 turbo.

OT: I have 1.1GB of Top Gear videos and 4.71 GB of general car videos.

I just watched the video and I'll have to second what adrial said, that has to be one of the most boring car reviews I have ever watched.

but I'm glad I saw it, bcs now I relish my modern car reviews all that much more.

By far the best top gear video is when tiff tests the mclaren f1. The face he makes when he nails it is priceless.
